Looking forward to what Dave has in store for this new engine!

I actually did try several different slings with some tops. The plates in my hip were being pulled on I also have a rebuilt shoulder all from a bad accident. I could still drive it it just wasn’t comfortable so I wasn’t driving it very much went to a good home so I’m happy. It’s replacement toy will be showing up this spring it might help me with my slingshot withdrawal!

I sold mine last year due to health issues with my hip. Just to get that out of the way. When I had mine it really seemed like really young people like 14-18 loved it and people 50 and over loved it. And of course little kids loved it also. It seemed people my age I’m 38 didn’t seem to really care for it much. Would rather have a sport bike or a Harley. I miss mine everyday I just had so much trouble getting in and out of it.

I’ve been going through my slingshot stuff and saw notes I made when I bought my sling about insurance I was hoping it wasn’t going to be 1500-2000 a year I wrote down for budgeting reasons. I call my insurance lady she said what the hell is a slingshot? I don’t remember what it was then but I pay like 380 a year for my slingshot and I have extra insurance on it. I do have lots of policies with my insurance company but insurance has been super cheap on the sling!

Some of the best people I’ve ever met have been through Slingshot Info! I stayed in peoples home met great people been given life advice from people who have life experiences I didn’t have. Never had Facebook never saw any reason. On the people with the quads keep on keeping on those are bad machines! Don’t know why anyone would bash those like Kev said probably jealous. If it wasn’t for injuries I have from a previous accident my sling would be in my stable for a long time but shit happens!

My sling is going to a new forum member. I will let him or her say who it is. I just wanted to say I haven’t been on much the last year but this forum has let me meet many great people. My back and hip won’t allow me to drive my sling and it just sits. So I decided to let it go to a great friend and I look forward to him taking it to the next level! Glad it is going to a great home. You guys and gals are the best!

I think if you read this thread it’s pretty easy to guess who bought it!

Didn’t think this would last long.

Orangeman Your wife’s ride is badass!

That’s the route I’m hoping to go I would like to do the Bowling Green delivery also!

Just means my 07 F-150 I was going to replace is staying in the fleet! Since I will be sling less soon I have to have a toy! Just hope I can sit in one first.

If I can get in and out of the thing already got the blessing from the wife to order one. Should be around 70ish for Z51 package.

Yeah I’m not doing craigslist just don’t have the time to mess with people. If it doesn’t sell I have one trip I would love to do and then I might trade it in on a Razr 1000 or some other toy.

Mine will be going on ebay soon. So I worry about scammers also. For people buying from me I have like 2500 feedback at 99.9% so that should put some at ease.

I took my sling out for its first ride in about a month. My hip has been giving me trouble getting in and out of it so I haven’t been riding it at all. Also been real busy with work. My point is man I love the slingshot I got it out of my buddy’s garage and took it about 100 miles and smiled every mile! Sometimes I forget how great this little machine is!

Happy Birthday to the greatest country in the world!!!

I have to say the same thing as MACAWS said I wasn’t able to help with the planning nor with SOG as much as I would of liked. The mission and people are amazing though and I imagine this great group will do amazing things as they are amazing people! Sad that I couldn’t make it to Alabama for homecoming.

This is looking like it’s going to be a pretty special event!

To the gas station took it out for the first time since last fall!

Sorry to hear but happy for you to be getting it taken care of.
